4) $484,000 for endowments for Hoboken’s three charter schools [thank you to KMS (the developer) for agreeing to raise this amount!]

5) $200,000 for Hoboken’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund

I strongly believe this agreement, which my team spent months negotiating, is a major benefit to our residents. But, to make this agreement a reality, the City Council must vote to approve it at the next Council meeting.

That’s why your help is critical – we can’t take any chances on this important vote. We need you show up to ensure that the Councilmembers put politics aside and support these benefits at Wednesday’s council meeting!Unfortunately, if the Council votes no to this agreement, we will lose out on the $4.85 million in funding for our community.

Here are two ways you can play an important role.

1) Show up to the Council meeting on Wednesday at 7:00 pm at City Hall (94 Washington Street) and speak in favor of the agreement! The Councilmembers need to hear directly from residents. Come make your voices heard and ask the Councilmembers to vote YES!

Thank you to all of the residents and parents who have already spent hours helping advocate for this deal, and the Library Board, Board of Education, and Hudson County Freeholdersfor passing resolutions of support. It’s important that as many people as possible join us at Wednesday’s meeting so we can ensure the Council votes to support our agreement.
